 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

A LOST BABY
Luna Rosati found acceptance and comfort with her childhood foster family, but when she became pregnant at sixteen, she gave the baby up for adoption and left without a word. Now a CIA counterintelligence officer, Luna wants to reconcile her fractured sense of self by finding the only blood family she has--the teenage daughter she's never met. As Luna closes in on learning the girl's identity with the help of her mentor, Stryker, she prepares to meet him in her old neighborhood--the last place she wants to be. Then Stryker is captured.   

AN INESCAPABLE PAST
Special Agent Corbin King changed his last name to escape the shadow of his convicted father serving a life sentence. When he runs into Luna, the object of his failed teenage romance, the two must put their pasts aside and work together to expose a secret that someone's willing to kill for.

A DEADLY THREAT
But when they encounter a kidnapping, missing bodies, and murder, the secrets Corbin and Luna are keeping from one another are only the beginning of the threat they face with more than their own lives at stake.

A gripping Christian romantic suspense thriller with CIA intrigue, second chances, and found family. Perfect for fans of clean thrillers, faith-based fiction, and emotional page-turners by Lynette Eason, Colleen Coble, Jessica R. Patch, and Charles Martin.

Book Review

Wow, what a story! This one drew me into the action right from the start and I found myself at the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen. Corbin and Luna were both such interesting characters--- having both experienced difficult childhoods and then a teenage romance that ended with an unplanned pregnancy and a child put up for adoption. Years later, they come face to face again and find themselves having to search for their missing mentor and the identity of their daughter... which all seemed to be wrapped up in a sinister threat beyond what they would have imagined. There were so many twists and turns to keep me guessing. I don't want to say too much and give anything away, but this one truly was an intriguing story that was absolutely not what I was expecting--- in the very best way possible. I think this is one of the best suspense reads that I've read recently, and one that is certain to stick with me for quite some time... and that ending? Well, I certainly cannot wait to see what is going to happen in the series next. If you enjoy Christian romantic suspense, this is definitely one not to be missed.
